Trump said there was no need for NATO's help amid US successes in Iran

The United States no longer needs the help of NATO countries after their refusal to intervene in the military operation against Iran. This was announced on March 17 by the American leader Donald Trump.

"In view of our military successes, we no longer "need" or desire the help of NATO countries — we have never needed it! The same applies to Japan, Australia and South Korea," Trump wrote on his page on the Truth Social network.

The US President noted that most of the allies in the North Atlantic Alliance refused to take part in the military operation, although they strongly support the actions of the American Armed Forces and oppose the development of nuclear weapons by the Islamic Republic. He stressed that he had always considered NATO to be a "one-way street," since the bloc's members would do nothing for Washington during a difficult period.

In addition, according to the head of the White House, American troops destroyed Iran's Navy, Air Force, anti-aircraft systems and radars.

On March 15, Trump appealed to countries dependent on oil supplied through the Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran, to ensure the safety of this transport route. He then threatened NATO with a "bad future" if it refused to help unblock the water area.

Later, on March 17, the Axios portal learned about the reluctance of the US allies to join the coalition on the Strait of Hormuz. Trump himself called the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz unfair, because the United States "has already won." The day before, he also announced the imminent completion of the operation against Iran, assuring that "we will not have to wait long."
